ro/di setups

[pissyfish]

how does everyone set up their systems? i'm wondering if people use a tub or something to collect while at work, etc.

I have mine set up underneath our kitchen sink and I drilled a whole through the wall so I could hook it up directly to a kent-marine float valve that is hooked up into the sump for auto top off. I don't leave the RO/DI unit on all the time though...I have heard horrow stories of faulty float valves. As far as for water changes, I have a 30 gallon plastic trash can with a cheaper float valve hooked up near the top and I have a "T" in my RO/DI tubing that I hook up whenever it is time to do a water change. I just set the trash can off to the side and let it fill up. Takes about 8 hours or so.

I just use several 5-gallon buckets w/ lids. I drilled a small hole in one of the lids to insert the RO tubing. I have waste buckets and clean buckets and each are labeled. I use the waste water to flush the toilet in my garage.
